SIDNEY T. KENNAN, OF MENASHA, WISCNSIN.

FELLY-SAWING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters :Patent NO. 226,863, dated. April 27, 1880.

Application filed January 12, 1880.

To all whom t't may concern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY T. KENNAN, of the city of Menasha, in theV county of Winnebago and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machinery for the Purpose of Sawing and Planing Wagon- Fellies, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to machines for sawing fellies for vehicle-wheels and it consists in the devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my invention; Fig. 2, a side view with portions of the frame in section. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view of the saws and table, and Fig. 4 a detail view of a means for revolving the table.

A is an arbor, the journals of Which rest in bearings A A2, attached to hangers a a, which are slotted, and are attached to slotted brackets B B b b, so as to be adjustable both vertically` and horizontally.

To the lower end of arbor A, .I attach the concave saws S S, interposing between them a block or hub, s, to which Iiix planing-knives 7c k. The -saws project over a revolving table, T, to which I fix cleats H I, to receive and hold the blanks against the action of the saws. The cleats I, which rise above those, H, are grooved to permit them to pass under the saws as they present the blanks to them.

Arms M M, extending out from an upward prolongation of shaft Q, and having their outer ends supported in jaws g g, carry rollers R, which press upon and hold the blanks down as they pass to and beyond the saws.

Operation: Sections of plank, which I term blanks,7 having been placed upon cleats H H, the machinery is started, a pulley commu nicatingmotion to the saw-arbor, andafriction-wheci and bevel-gear turning' the table, which, as it revolves, carries one of the blanks under the rst rollerR, and thence to the saws, which cut through it vertically, while the knives plane the top of the Wood as it passes through; and thus a felly planed on one side is cut out at each passage of a blank beneath or by the saws. That blanks may be adjusted and removed without stopping the table is obvious.

As the arbor A is adjustable, it may be set to produce fellies of various dimensions.

What I claim as my invention is l. A revolving table having cleats at proper intervals to receive and hold the blanks, in combination with rollers for holdin g the blanks down, and concave saws S S, as set forth.

2. The combination of arbor A, carrying saws S S, brackets B B b b, with adjustable hangers et a, having arbor, as set forth.
